Dutch Oven Toll House Pie 🍪😍

This is an important recipe.

Not just for me.

Not just for you.

This is for everyone in your family...for generations.

This will be one of those family recipes that everyone remembers from Grandma & Grandpa's House.

BYU students who lived at Helaman Halls may remember this dessert from the Cannon Center. A version of this dish is made by the BYU bakery, but is often far too sugary to enjoy. This version is sweet but smoooooth. Bonus: it's super easy to make! In a word, it's perfect.

Enjoy.

TOLL HOUSE PIE

*You have my permission to call this Pillsbury Pie, for alliteration's sake*

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs 
• Ice cream -optional-
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar 
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup softened butter (can be melted, too)
• 1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie shell - If frozen, allow to thaw

Destructions: <--Not a typo 

1. Beat eggs in bowl until foamy
2. Beat in flour and sugars
3. Add butter and beat until smooth
4. Mix in chips and nuts
5. Transfer "dough" into pie shell
   
   
6. Place 5 1-2" stones into bottom of a 12" dutch oven. This will serve as a platform for your pie tin (if you place the tin directly in the dutch oven, the pie will burn). In the meantime, allow a little one to play around with his laser pointer.
    
   
7. Place pie on top of rocks
   
8. Evenly distribute 7 coals underneath dutch oven & 16 on lid
   
9. Bake for about 65 minutes. Don't worry if the top looks like it's getting over done. It'll be perfect.
10. Allow pie to cool (can hurry this along in the freezer--the pie is irresistible!)
11. Slice and serve! Pairs perfectly with butter pecan ice cream!

 

This really is one of my favorite desserts. I hope you give it a try!
